do it for the vine

[princessences]

Viable does not mean "sound".

[ You have a lot of ideas, Keith. That doesn't make them all good ideas. ]

Space whale lice?

Keith never asked for this

[galrad]

You're worrying too much Allura. I've lived in worse places.

The space whale? I forgot to mention the space whale didn't I. When Krolia and I were in the space time slip to find the secret Altean refuge of Lotor's.

We spent two years on a space whale. Lice tried to eat Kosmo as a puppy, that's how we met.

keith never asked for a lot of things, yet here we are

[princessences]

That doesn't mean you should have to.

[ There is some merit in distancing oneself from the influence of the city, keeping a more impartial gaze on the proceedings. Is she just too used to not slumming it? ]

Yes, you forgot to mention the space whale. I wasn't aware that those existed or that they had lice. You rode a space whale and found a wolf.

[ Yes, that makes perfect sense. ]

true. he just wants a shack ok

[galrad]

I don't have to do anything. I just want to have a look. I'll be more comfortable out there if I find something than crammed on a bed with another person, sharing a room.

Besides, it's just a maybe right now. See if I find anything.

[ Keith can just imagine the look on her face, and it makes him snort a little, lip curling in amusement as he hides his smile behind his hand for a moment, before replying. ]

Through a time slip that caused me to experience two years to your two weeks. Yeah. Just another regular day for the paladins of Voltron.

a simple man with simple needs

[princessences]

Very well. Please let me know what you decide. I know that you've faired well on your own before, but our team as at a disadvantage here.

[ Really, they have to look out for each other. ]

I must admit, I would have liked to see it for myself.

Not the lice part, I mean.

[galrad]

I know. I'll still be close, and you're always welcome to stay if things go poorly in the city. I promise, I'll be close at hand and in contact. I'm not cutting ties or going dark or anything. I just...

I think I'll be a lot more comfortable out there, in a space that's not so crowded than behind these walls.

[ Keith pauses for a moment before sending his next message. Just reminiscing, thinking back to the space whale, to the Altean settlement, to the precious time he had been able to gain back with his mother. ]

Maybe someday I can take you to see them.

[princessences]

I understand. I trust you.

[ She does, even if she doesn't particularly like it. She does feel a need to keep an eye on him. We're always stronger together. ]

I will hold you to that, Keith. Once we escape this place.

[galrad]

I promise if it's too dangerous I'll come back into the city. But it can't be that bad, they've forced their poor and sick to live out there.

[ It's a good thing this is text, that way Allura can't hear just how impressed he is by this. (He's not.) ]

I look forward to it.

[princessences]

I know that we're essentially guests here, but it is difficult not to criticize the way some things are handled, isn't it?

[galrad]

Especially when they're forcing innocent people out of their own homes for our sake. Surely there had to have been a better solution...

[ Keith sighed, dragging his hand over his face for a moment, before tapping out another message. ]

I have a hard time accepting that kind of hand out.

[princessences]

Understandably so. It definitely isn't the ideal solution and I don't think the ire is unreasonable either. They clearly were not anticipating any mass arrival of this scale.

Hopefully our stay will be brief. There's still a lot we need to do back in our own universe.
